The Community Action Agency of Delaware County, which operates three homeless shelters and a rental assistance program, was forced to reduce capacity at one of its shelters to 50% in October and close the other two on Nov. 1 as a result of the state budget impasse. Delaware County, which had been backfilling for missing state dollars, had to cut the funds it delivered to social service organizations in half last month. Now, the agency is beginning to reopen its doors and its rental assistance program.
